 If you'd only listen, I'd tell you not to worry, Because, from here, The view is truly pleasing. Your face and all of its expressions-- Altogether lovely. Don't be consumed By other opinions; To me, You are paradise. When you kiss me, I am taken far away From this wretched place, So occupied with its materialistic concerns. If you'd just give me a chance, I'd show you what our world would be Without the problems Accompanying superficial worries. Believe me, Love, You are The unparalleled find In their search for perfection. (this is a repost from #10(?)...just a little fixed up with the graphic and all!  )...if I ride these dreams to the Irish Sea, oh, even there, I know your heart rides with me...

SnowPants~ I'm blown away by the sincerity of this one - and captured in the graphic of equal beauty. Oh, my ... I think perhaps that's what Heaven looks like ! It was real easy to step into that serene picture. Thank you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

And now the cowboy swims in the pool of serene calm. What lovely thoughts your words paint in this one my friend. It is easy to see why one would want to escape with you. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

I did miss this in 10...how very lovely...sometimes we get so caught up in the way we look that we forget that real beauty is inside |

What a beautiful way to love one so dearly, as to want to protect them from the world. And what a way to give that confort to another. I think that love should be about consolation, then we would all be happy. I really enjoy this one, because it makes me think of the times that I have felt the same for my children when they have a hard time at school. Thanks, its lovely. |
